Q.156) Name the class of enzyme that usually catalyze the following reaction:
S – G + S# → S + S# – G
Where,
G → a group other than hydrogen
S → a substrate
S# → another substrate
A) Ligase
B) Hydrolase
C) Lyase
D) Transferase
Q.156)
Solution:
The given reaction shows the transfer of a functional group G from one substrate (S-G) to another substrate (S#), resulting in the formation of S and S#–G. This is characteristic of transferase enzymes, which catalyze the transfer of functional groups from one molecule to another. Hence, the correct class of enzyme is Transferase.
Correct Answer: (4) Transferase
